We had a yoda and palp event... those used Rebels and Jedi. They've been telling us all year the dark side was rising and that a new yoda style event was coming. What faction did you think it would be? Empire and sith are the two opposites of those. As soon as they advertised nihilus coming, I started farming and leveling the 5 sith in game. When we knew krennick was coming and veers being reworked you should have started working on empire toons. You already needed empire toons at 5 star for mod challenges. I have no sympathy for those who cry about not being ready. You had all the clues in front of you since January.

Ah gee, maybe because Empire was crap and everyone can't work on toons that MIGHT be used for one event, while also building up teams that do well in Arena and Raids, also building up ships to farm zetas, AND farming gear and mods to stay competitive.
Do you people even play the game? Ya'll act like it's possible to do all of this and be competitive.
I'm not happy that I won't be able to unlock him, but it is what it is. I'm going to do what I can to get as far as I can in the event, but I wasn't going to sacrifice resources to farm toons that, contrary to what you believe, there was no indication would be needed for one specific event.
Empire was meta before maul lol. All the Zader teams running around. So TFP is recommended for raids, and is a beast on a Vader/palp arena team, throw in some work on tarkin so you can farm zetas, that's 4 toons most people have somewhat developed, royal guard has always been a top tank before Shore, magma trooper is pretty good in raids. So idk unless you're a noob you should at least have a 5* unlock. I would think most people have 5 5* empire toons to farm potency mods anyway. Getting them to 7 isn't a stretch.
I'm a f2p, and started just before mid-FEB 2017.
My "Empire" at this moment:
-4* L60 Vader G7 (2 shards away from 5*)
-4* L55 Tarkin G7
-3* L54 RG G5
-3* L56 TFP G6
-2* L46 Snow G5
-3* L40 Shore G2
-2* L40 Magma G3
-2* L40 Saxon G3
-2* L40 ISC G1
I was just happy to get 5 Scoundrels to do Heists, farmed the Wiggs combo, and unlock Darth Vader as my personal achievements for this month.

A lot of people might have done those things, but I don't understand this notion of "should." Especially the first one. Most guilds have no problem completing Rancor so why "should" anybody worry about having Vader for it? There are much higher priorities for me than being able to solo a raid that I'm not allowed to solo anyhow (since my guild has a damage cap for those with 7* Han). To me the only thing I would even argue people should have done isn't even on your list -- completing the potency mod challenge. Which would give you enough characters to at least unlock.
You're absolutely right. Seeing how I take first place in arena with Vader shore tfp palps savage. That's only 4 empire toons, I have tarkin and royal guard at 6*. Maybe I'll get one of them up to 7, maybe I won't, but I'm ready. I'm farmed maul dooku and sidious for an event to get nihilus that never happened. Farmed jawas for crit damage mods. There's plenty of reasons to farm different factions. Most people if not a noob should have an empire squad.
Frickin A... this guy gets it lol
How bout phase 2 of tank. Or potency mods. Or the fact vaders a beast. You one of those guys still running droids or wiggsdo boba han and have never diversified your roster?
even worse, it's your arena team lol.
I'm happy for you that you've got your empire team ready, but come on man. Stop trying to make players who don't have an empire squad feel inferior, especially not after the character restrictions were posted on the forum by the devs.
Fine. Ignore the semantics of should or should not. All I was trying to say is that a long time player would have had plenty of valid reasons to build at least 4 reasonably good Empire characters and 5 if you include Potency mods. If you chose not to, that's fine. I wasn't trying to denigrate anyone and the OP's post was a bit inflammatory, so maybe this was just not the right post to try to make what I intended to be a civil point.
P.S. Everyone SHOULD build Vader because he's frickin' Vader!
Potency mods are the thing I mentioned, so that's not an argument against what I said. Phase 2 of tank is, again, not everyone's priority. I don't bother hitting phase 2, personally. It's not necessary and I have no reason to prioritize it over all the other things I want to do. There are plenty of good characters out there, and Vader isn't so much better than all the rest that it's totally unreasonable not to have worked on him. Unless you are a whale, this game requires prioritizing. The fact that other people had different priorities than you did doesn't make them crazy.
I have never run droids and don't even have a droid team. Out of the characters you mentioned, Boba is the only one currently on my arena team. And I'm not a guy. So... none of that, no.
Arena claims always make me want to see a swgoh.gg profile
lol
Never used any of those toons. RG is a **** to farm. I don't have Palp unlocked. Magma is currently 2*. Tarkin is 6* but has crap gear on him. TFP is 4* now.
Been playing since January '17. Lvl 81. Never bothered farming them because I never saw a use before I unlocked ships. With the exception of Vader, Tarkin, TFP, and Shore, all of my empire toons are still lvl 1.
Not at all. I do it, for the most part. I have some toons that I let slide a little longer than I should. I took a lot of the empire toons to 7* a while ago, just in case. Looks like just in case came in pretty handy.
Now to think about the next faction that might get some sort of event like this...

If this is the mentality of people who don't consider themselves "hardcore," then why do they care if they can't get R2 the first time around?
I'm still trying to learn the board's lingo and abbreviations.
